It's been far too long...

Remember me? I'm the Mommy blogger who has totally slacked off on her blogging duties! I promise I'll catch up soon. Hopefully this week since it's Spring Break, and I don't have to teach on Tuesday and Thursday evenings :-)

To bring you up to speed, life in the Fogarty household has been busy but blissful the last few months! I started a new job at the beginning of February, which I LOVE, and I'm also finishing up my Capstone (thesis) paper for grad school, while teaching a Business Communication course at St. Edward's University, my alma mater. Yes, busy as a bee, but seriously loving life! I see the light at the end of the tunnel, as I hope to have a final draft of my Capstone submitted by the end of March, and the class I'm teaching ends at the end of April.

On the homefront, Martin and I are trying to keep up with our very energetic toddler :-) Grace constantly entertains us these days with her non-stop talking and active imagination. She loves to sing and dance, and we love watching her face light up when she hears a song she recognizes. Her favorites are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," the ABCs, "Elmo's Song," and "If You're Happy and You Know It."

Grace has started to talk in complete sentences. Most often we hear, "It's dark in here," when she walks into a dark room, and "I want to take a walk," when she gets into her stroller and lets us know that she's ready for a walk. She can be quite the bossy young lady, and I can't for the life of me figure out where she gets that from ;-) LOL...clearly, she didn't inherit that trait from her mother. She did get her independence from me though. She's a little girl who always seems to take charge, and she clearly knows what she wants. Watching her personality develop has brought us great joy!

That's all for now...stay tuned though! I'm recommitting myself to blogging and am now dabbling with Twitter. Come follow me there (search afogarty2005)! Thanks for visiting!
